The purpose of the preliminary objection was to show that the head suit was time-barred and that Court should strike out the plaint with costs under }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 Order }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 7 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 rule 11(d) of the Civil Procedure Rules. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid1600703 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 However, before Court goes into the merits of the preliminary objection it is wise to understand the background that gave rise to it. Briefly,}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 the background is as follows: \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 In response to an invitation to the general public that the defendant made on 20th March 1976, the plaintiff purchased a number of bonds from the defendant. The total value of the b onds was to be British Pounds Sterling seventy four thousand two hundred and forty eight (E 74,248) at the date of redemption. The date of redemption was to fall on the fifth anniversary of the date of issue of the bonds. Indeed, the bond matured in 1981 and from 1982 onwards the plaintiff endeavoured to redeem them, but was not su}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 ccessful. Finally, on 29}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \super\insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 th}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 September 2003 the plaintiff decided to sue the defendant in respect of the bonds under }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 HCCS }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 No. 584 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 of }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 2003 and sought to recover the sum of money refe rred to above. In response to the plaintiff\rquote s suit the defendant filed a Written Statement of Defence denying the above claim and, among other things, gave the plaintiff notice of the preliminary objection that is the subject of this ruling. In short, that is the background}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 to the preliminary objection. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 In presenting the preliminary objection and replying to it Court permitted learned counsel (i.e. Messrs. Kanyemibwa for the defendant and Mbabazi for the plaintiff) to do so in writing. It was agreed that b oth counsel would file the submissions within a given time frame at the close of which Court would give a ruling. Both counsel duly complied and Court is indebted to them for the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 useful submissions they filed. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 Without wasting time the gist of Mr. Kanyemibwa\rquote s submissions was that the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 plaintiff\rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 suit was time-barred; and for that reason it was unsustainable both in law and equity. Mr. Kanyemibwa insisted that the bonds were a contract the parties entered into on 20th March 1976. Therefore, when the defenda nt failed to pay the plaintiff the agreed sum of money on the maturity of the bonds five years later, it breached the contract. As a result of the breach the plaintiff was immediately entitled to sue the defendant; and he should have done so within 6 year s from the date of the breach of contract i.e. at least by 1988. However, the plaintiff did not do so. Instead, he sat on his rights for more than 20 years. He eventually woke up in September 2003 and filed the head suit.

Kanyemibwa argued that whe re a suit is time-barred under a Statute, as it is in the instant case, the law is that the plaintiff cannot lawfully seek to defeat the provisions of such Statute by invoking an equitable remedy such as specific performance. Among others, he relied on th e following authorities to }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 justify}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 that position: }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 (a) }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 section 14 of the Judicature Act (Cap. 13), }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 which shows that equity applies in Uganda only where there ar}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 e gaps in the written law; and \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 (b}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 ) the}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 rule that equity follows the law and not vice versa.

First of all, he argued that the bonds in question were not ordinary bonds. They were bonds that the defendant issued under }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 the Local Loans Act (Cap. 240). }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 For that reason Mr. Mbabazi insisted that it was }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 the Local Loans Act (Cap. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 240) that governed their redemption, but not the general law of contract. Consequently, }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 section 3(1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 ) (}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 a) of the Limitation Act (Cap. 80) }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 would not affect the said bonds. Secondly, Mr. Mbabazi submitted that the equitable remedies that the a pplicant sought i.e. specific performance and the relief against unjust enrichment were very relevant in this case considering that the defendant does not deny that he received the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 plaintiff \rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 money. Mr. Mbabazi finally called upon Court to over-rule Mr. Kanyemibwa}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 on the preliminary objection. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 After carefully considering the above submissions Court agrees with Mr. Kanyemibwa that the plaintiff\rquote s suit (i.e. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 HCCS }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 No. 584 }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 of }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 2003)}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 is time- barred and these are Court\rquote s reasons for holding that view. Firstly, according to various authorities e.g. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 Black\rquote s Law Dictionary Seventh Edition at pages 168 and 169, Byrne\rquote s Law Dictionary at page 127 and Words And Phrases Legally defined Volume 1 at page 176, a bond }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 is some form of contract under seal to pay }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 a sum }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 of mon ey. From the pleadings and the agreed facts the arrangement between the parties herein consisted of an offer to sell the bonds on the terms the defendant put forward, an acceptance to buy the bonds on such terms and the consideration. The consideration wa s the money the plaintiff paid for the bonds in return for the defendant\rquote s promise to pay him the value of the bonds and some added interest on redemption. It is settled law that such arra}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 ngement amounts to a contract. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 (See Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Company (1892) 2 QB 484; Otis Elavator Company Ltd v Bhajan Singh and Others; and Jetha Petrol Station Ltd v Jamal Premji Lalal Ltd }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\ai\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 (1958) }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 E.

Equally so, }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 section 3(1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 ) (}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 a) of the Limitation Act (Cap. 80) }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 that limits the time within which actions founded on contract may be filed would apply to the arrangement. \line From the foregoing, it follows that Mr. Mbabazi\rquote s argument to the effect that the bonds in question are not contracts and therefore section }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 3(1)(a) of the Limitation Act (Cap. 80) }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 does not affect them has absolutely no merit. Even } {\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 the Local Loans Act (Cap. 240), }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 that Mr. Mbabazi referred to as the relevant law in this case, is in Court\rquote s opinion irrelevant. Indeed, Court has found no nexus between that law and the bonds in question. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 Clearly, the above finding should have at this point wholly disposed of the preliminary objection that is the subject of this ruling if the plaintiff had not also sought to rely on e quity for the success of his case against the d}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid1600703 efendant. \par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 Paragraph 3 of the plaint, among other things, shows that in case Court did not grant the plaintiff the remedy he sought against the defendant for breach of contract Court should grant the plaintiff a }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\ai\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 \'93relief in }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 equity }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\ai\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\i\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 against unjust enrichment\'94. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 Therefore, the question to answer at this point is whether a relief in equity against unjust enrichment would be available to the plaintiff? In Court\rquote s opinion such relief would not be available to the plaintiff in the circumstances of this case. This is mainly because equity follows the law. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid1600703 (See Erukana Kuwe v Vasrambai}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 Damji Nader (supra)). }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 As Court earlier on pointed out }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 section 3(1}{ \rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 ) (}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 a) of the Limitation Act (Cap. 80) }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 sealed the fate of the head suit. Th e said suit is time barred and the plaintiff cannot lawfully obtain a remedy under it. For that reason the plaintiff cannot lawfully manoeuvre the doctrines of equity in order to achieve what the written law has clearly said he ought not to achieve. \line All, in all, Court has no choice but to conclude that the head suit is time- barred under section }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 3(1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid1600703\charrsid1600703 ) (}{ \rtlch\fcs1 \ab\af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \b\insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 a) of the Limitation Act (Cap. }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0 \insrsid4591421\charrsid1600703 80).
